Local beekeeper took us to a private bee gardens, it was a long way up to there and the road was muddy because it rained. We had a hard time on our way. Difficulties in interview: It was our first time to carry out social practice out of campus. We had no experience in interview, didn’t know what kind of people were suitable for asking question, and very tense, it made interviewees suspicious of us, they excused for declining to be interviewed. Coming back, through our summary and study, we took the prepared questions in the second time, we had a generous and friendly communication with local residents, and we felt gratified that the effect was very good. Production difficulties: because it is the first time to participate in, project production process arrangements are not reasonable, such as because we didn’t determine the site columns, so we didn’t know how to make the data and interview records, classification was not in order, causing great distress;
